JET: Look, I... I'm looking for answers. I guess I'd settle for a job working for you.

CSC: Understood. I can probably help you with the former, and definitely help with the latter.

JET: You have a job for me?

CSC: Of course. An adventurer like yourself can be quite a useful asset.

JET: What do you need?

CSC: Not what I need, really, but what I want is for you to help the other two candidates for Pirate Lord lose the election. I need you to embarrass or incapacitate "Ironbeard" McBeard and Manbreath Threeplank. No murder, no permanent harm, though. They're both quite useful to our nation in their own way.

JET: And in return you'll give me answers?

CSC: If I win the election, you'll have the full power of the Pirate South behind you, as well as my personal connections. Fair deal?

JET: ...and you really don't mind that we knocked out one of your men?

CSC: Not really. Look, I'm in a hurry, Jill, battles to be fought, ninjas to kill, et cetera. Do we have a deal?
